Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp Fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp Orange juice (freshly squeezed preferred)
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 tsp Chipotle chile powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 pcs Lime wedges (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, chipotle chile powder, ground cumin, olive oil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the pan.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the pan with non-stick spray if needed.
Add the shrimp in a single layer to the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle chopped cilantro on top for a fresh, herbal finish.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
